Lancia Hyena

Lancia Hyena: which version to buy

There is only one Lancia Hyena to buy. The catalogue lists 1 generation (1992–1996), Coupe body, and 1 version: 2.0 MT. There is no restyling line, no second engine, no automatic, no two-wheel-drive sibling, and no later generation to “step up” to. The buying question is therefore not “2.0 versus 2.0 something else” — it is whether 2.0 MT’s numbers are the car you want.

There is only one Lancia Hyena to buy. The catalogue lists 1 generation (1992–1996), Coupe body, and 1 version: 2.0 MT. There is no restyling line, no second engine, no automatic, no two-wheel-drive sibling, and no later generation to “step up” to. The buying question is therefore not “2.0 versus 2.0 something else” — it is whether 2.0 MT’s numbers are the car you want.

Specs that decide the purchase: 2.0 MT

2.0 MT is the whole range. Power is 210 hp (154 kW) at 5750 rpm. Torque is 304 Nm at 3500 rpm. Displacement is 1995 cc. Fuel is Gasoline. Cylinders: 4, layout Inline, 4 valves per cylinder, boost Turbo. Engine position: Front, transverse. Injection: Distributed injection (multi-point). Gearbox: Manual, 5 gears. Drive: AWD.

What those figures mean as ratios (arithmetic on the same row, not extra catalogue fields):

• 105.3 hp per litre (210 ÷ 1.995). For a 1995 cc Gasoline unit that is a high specific output; it comes with Turbo, compression 8, and fuel 95.
• 152.4 Nm per litre (304 ÷ 1.995). Peak torque is at 3500 rpm, 2250 rpm below peak power — the useful band is mid-range, not only the 5750 rpm peak.
• 5.48 kg per horsepower of kerb mass (1150 ÷ 210), or 182.6 hp per tonne. Kerb weight is 1150 kg. Gross weight is not measured, so payload and towing capacity cannot be calculated from this catalogue.
• Torque-to-mass: 3.78 kg per Nm (1150 ÷ 304). Combined with AWD and a 5-speed Manual, that is the mechanical argument for this single version: light kerb, all-wheel drive, one turbo four.

Bore and stroke 84 × 90 (stroke longer than bore) sit with compression 8, which is the Turbo setup on 2.0 MT, not a high-compression naturally aspirated tune. There is no second engine in the data to contrast against; if you wanted a non-turbo Hyena, this catalogue does not list one.

Performance and economy: what 2.0 MT actually quotes

0–100 for 2.0 MT is not measured. Do not treat silence as “this car has no acceleration figure in the real world”; in this dataset the sprint is simply missing. Top speed is measured: 220 km/h.

Fuel (catalogue litres per 100 km, not mpg converted here):

City uses 3.3 L/100 km more than highway (11.2 − 7.9). Mixed sits 2.6 above highway and 0.7 below city — closer to town use than to a long-run figure.

Tank 57 L. Approximate range from those three rates (tank ÷ consumption × 100):

• mixed 10.5: about 543 km
• city 11.2: about 509 km
• highway 7.9: about 722 km

CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured. Anyone shopping “emissions band” or company-car tax from this page has no number to use.

Dimensions, weight, and the extras that are missing

Kerb weight 1150 kg. Gross weight not measured. Ground clearance 150 mm. Fuel tank 57 L. Wheel sizes not measured.

Suspension, both axles: Independent, spring. Front brakes Ventilated disc; rear Disc. Those are the English labels in the data; they do not add a second brake package to choose from.

Because wheels are not measured, tyre packages, plus-size options, and “which rim to buy” cannot be ranked. Because gross mass is not measured, you cannot subtract kerb from GVW to get payload. The buying decision on size is therefore: Coupe, 150 mm clearance, 1150 kg kerb, 57 L tank — and stop where the sheet stops.

Generations: there is nothing to “skip” or “wait for”

1 generation ran 1992-01-01 to 1996-12-31. Body: Coupe. Versions in that generation: 1 (2.0 MT), same start and stop dates as the generation.

There is no facelift generation in the data and no “2 generation” with more power, a different gearbox, or a different drive layout. You cannot buy a later Hyena with more hp, a sixth gear, or a different fuel type from this catalogue. Year-to-year inside 1992–1996 is also not split: one modification covers the full window.

So “which generation?” collapses to: the only generation, 1992–1996 Coupe.

Which version to choose (with only one row)

Choose 2.0 MT if the following stack matches what you will use:

1. AWD is required. There is no FWD or RWD Hyena listed; 2.0 MT is all-wheel drive or nothing. 2. You will shift a Manual with 5 gears. There is no Automatic Hyena in the data. 3. You accept a Turbo Gasoline 1995 cc Inline 4 with 210 hp and 304 Nm, not a larger naturally aspirated engine (none listed). 4. Top speed 220 km/h is enough of a performance anchor, knowing 0–100 is not measured. 5. Mixed 10.5 L/100 km and city 11.2 are acceptable, with highway 7.9 as the best of the three measured rates. 6. 1150 kg kerb and 150 mm clearance fit how you park and load; you do not need a measured gross weight or wheel size from this sheet.

Do not choose this model from this catalogue if you need any of: a second power output, an automatic, two-wheel drive, a measured 0–100, a CO2 figure, an eco class, a gross weight, or a wheel size. Those fields are either a single value you cannot swap or not measured.

There is no “extra money buys X horsepower” comparison between Hyena versions: modifikaciy is 1. The extra you are buying versus an imaginary weaker Hyena is the entire 210 hp / 304 Nm / AWD / Turbo package in one car. Power per litre (105.3), kg per hp (5.48), and the 3.3 L/100 km city–highway gap are the only internal contrasts the numbers support.

Reliability and problems: what this sheet does not settle

This dataset has no failure rates, no service intervals, and no common-fault list. It does record a Turbo Gasoline engine, compression 8, fuel 95, Distributed injection (multi-point), AWD, and Manual 5. Those are specification facts, not a reliability ranking. Do not read “one version” as “simple and therefore trouble-free”; it only means there is no second mechanical package to pick as the “safer” Hyena.

Buyer’s checklist against 2.0 MT

If that table is the car, the version to buy is 2.0 MT. If any cell is a deal-breaker, this model line has no other cell to switch to.
